Top 10 Diablo 2 Memories of the Past

[@AndrewGR469]

Those were the best times man... when i was waiting for the damn school to end and go home to play d2. Those best times will never come back....

[@AndrewGR469]

+Paul Ruiz yep.. i hope diablo 4 will be better than shitty d3 though lol

[@iCutWaffles]

Andrew Greek Never gonna be a diablo 4 . d3 is dead I would actually prefer a d2 hd remake with added acts. would be sick. Also we can play d2 if you want! massivr community on reddit and jsp

[@MrMaxRob]

theres grim dawn right now, the spiritual successor of diablo 2 , this low budget game completely destroyed diablo 3.

[@andyk71]

Gajeel RedFox what's jsp?

[@sirrahma1690]

wow you so cool! weed! I wish I was cool enough to inject weed

[@AlexeiVoronin]

The chat gem is supposed to mess with players' minds and make them come up with conspiracy theories. So yes, Blizzard were quite correct - the gem works perfectly and does exactly what it's expected to do :D

[@samtheguru]

I forgot about the chat gem until I saw this comment. Hahaha.

[@thomasgraham123]

Some memories that weren't mentioned; - Classic D2 before expansion. WW lance barbs were huge back then, rares were better then uniques - Multi shot zons before spell got nerfed to reduce dmg - Iron maiden curse in Chaos Sanctuary - stacking spells like meteor, frozen orb, hydra - TPPK - 1.08 items (valks, arkanes valor) - Aura stacking with pally

[@GNParty]

TPPK?

[@thomasbummer4361]

first hammer barbs than came lance AND corpse explsion!!

[@eddiegreencheez]

Damn multishots. Zon WF MS clear out whole cow run from the portal pretty much

[@OutbackJackNL]

@@GNParty Town Portal Player Kill

[@MikeyStreet314]

i remember by 2003 ppl already getting so tech with builds. SPEED pvp Lance barbs with little armor using WW that could take out older Soul Scratch executioner WW barbs wearing Dire Caprice Ornate and Wrath Shell blue grim. Game developed crazy especially 200-2003 then it died

[@chrischampion9018]

the fact it soaked all my child hood up

[@evilminion6326]

+Chris Champion same, i started playing when i was 8. :D (i am now 2 months from 20) too bad my parents didnt want me talking to random people on the internet so they removed my internet privileges untill i was 16 >.>

[@MyYTwatcher]

Thank you. I mean it. It really brought back the memories. I miss few things: a) Burizons with pierce b) Mef runs (or Baalruns for another use) c) Shaftstop,String of Ears and Gaza combo It was really great times. I miss my BN friends.

[@FictionExistence]

You guys remember Guided Arrow and Pierce Combo?

[@Ubeogesh]

Buriza do Kyanon, the PVP imba.

[@Reach1335]

Noob canon.

[@FaceTheNorthStar]

I started diablo 2 again JUST FOR THIS AND IT GOT REMOVED

[@meuhey]

try the bezelbub mod for diablo 1

[@evanwater3633]

yup when guided arrow would actually follow you more

[@DarkSim64]

The Oculus in 1.09d (last patch before synergies and OP runewords) had no drawback. In this patch, the Chance to Cast modifiers on every item was broken and would do nothing. The animation of the spell would activate, but the spell had no effect. So you would never get teleported by getting hit while wielding Oculus

[@Leviticus660]

BRO what an absoulte blast from the past, thankyou for that man honestly brings back so many memories. LOVING it

[@SRNF]

Nerf by blizzard so people would use.....*blizzard* spell.......interesting.

[@fbritorufino]

1.09D was the golden age to me, I still resent 1.10 hahaha

[@businesscatlimbo]

Back when rares were better than most uniques.

[@ledzeppelinqwe]

shit times

[@VanTemplar]

You should make a video about the 1.10 patch since it basically changed the whole game. I am interested what you think about it .. did it change the game for good or for bad in your opinion.

[@vankozz5188]

1.09D FOR LIFE!

[@Tyjohnable]

It made melee possible in hell. I remember trying to use my zealot in 1.09 and more the han half the monsters were immune to physical.

[@diabl2master]

The way you say "Annihilus" is completely hilarious. Imagine that it's derived from "annihilate" and you'll get it.

[@Xtimus]

Thanks for 20k Views on the Diablo 2 videos!!!! New Diablo 2 videos every Monday starting the 23rd :)

[@mdnght0095]

So Blizzard just fucked up all the memories with the nerfs ? Thanks Blizzard!

[@marijhorn]

Sadly it is kinda true, because on of the best memories from back of those ancient times are almost the same for me. :)

[@kasperand]

i really like this video but it would be nice to know when the nerfed spells and stuff wasent nerfed ^^

[@samtheguru]

People actually though the chat gem had a luck factor. Oh the good times.

[@pratikhazari3701]

What about hours of Mephisto magic-finding runs.

[@Xtimus]

Dude! I totally should have mentioned that! That was my life lol

[@odotawaissaku3755]

I've never done that. :( I did FUCK LOADS of Baal runs, though.

[@apoxic]

Special mention to the firewall-on-stairs strat!

[@pratikhazari3701]

I would teleport to the Act 4 portal and rain meteors down on Meph. Just carpet-bomb the area where Meph is so that it's covered in fire patches and let him sizzle.

[@diablofortress4401]

Pratik Hazari act 3 noob

[@Primer9]

greatest game ever made

[@mastercheifcoby]

The necromancer in general. My first summoner class. I'll never forget it.

[@stevenheroux9199]

Michele Depue mee too , a summoning necro with a fucking 2h sword i was so proud , lvl 67 stuck in a2 hell with no help , i was 12 , and dumb so i fell for the dnd tricks with password with some clan hiring xD lost everything , my best items was probably signon boots , cant remember xD poor guy he must been like daaaaamn this kid has nothing but SHIT

[@GNParty]

@@stevenheroux9199 I remember playing a necro. Lol

[@IKingRonin]

1:30 WOW the 15 years if not more i play this game i never knew about the gem lol

[@superZvegetto]

1. Zealadin with schaefers 2. White rings, hex charms, white gloves, occy rings, ith swords, etc 3. Sigon set 4. Mephisto run until the big map patch 5. 1st time solo fight duriel/diablo 6. Whirlwind barbarian with lightsabres 7. Bowzon with multi shots and piercing-guide arrow combo/Javazon 8. Unlimited sorceress cooldown 9. PKs/ears 10. Necro :)

[@F28B]

Ith weapons and Schaefer's haha good ole days

[@GNParty]

Necros in Diablo 2 are amazing.

[@yonblek4542]

My favorite thing about d2 was the rush when xfer sniping someone. One time a guy entered a cow game I was in. Ran out to the bloodmoor and left. I walked out and and what do i find but 7 p combs and an ohm rune. He was so pissed!

[@Mattock5656]

I remember those days, I had to find certain areas to drop my items in because everyone went to Bloodmoor lol...My heart was pumping when I threw down a nice item and had to xfer it lol

[@Sagitta62]

there is the greatest evil words of them all "THE NERF"

[@heymanhaha]

yea what does that even mean?lol

[@hughjanus6209]

The term dates back to ultima online. The devs reduced the power of swords that they became practically useless, so the players would say it was like they were hitting each other with nerf swords

[@MikeyStreet314]

frozen orb , nova, whirl wind. As a 14 year old that was diablo 2 to me. when they put an end to it , i stopped playing. Such a great video but such a sad one for me personally. ty very much for this content brother

[@ARod-sf4yy]

Might sound dumb but my biggest memories of this game is rogue encampmen music and just the music from the wilderness outside the camp, always brings back good memories

[@FenrizDK]

A fond memory is when we had a period of rollbacks that would seemingly happen randomly from blizzards side. I had that happen just a second or 2 after i had just muled my ultra rare selffound rare dual leech 6/6 ring with lvl req 9... Due to that exact time of the rollback and DC Blizzard actually duped my ring so i had it on the previous toon AND on the toon that i had just muled it to.

[@jason1300]

great job man i subed ! thanks for the videos!

[@Lythforce2]

wow great video! nostalgia:)

[@CorsairSoul]

Seems like Blizzard has removed every fun thing in diablo 2 since it was launched. Buriza Do Kanyon Bowazons and Firewall Sorcs.... Ahh I remember when I had a Paladin with perfect resists and damage reduction, used to piss off those PvP Firewall sorcs when their walls healed me.

[@xTnT87]

The Grandfather sword, and Windforce were the most rarest AND wanted items at the time. If you had either one... you're like the coolest kid in school lol.

[@AllhailtheUS]

The WW Barb was my first level 99 character...loved that build back then. Matter of fact I believe he was my first char on bnet as well... a friend of mine gave the Diablo 2 Gam when he got pissed one night and destroyed his computer. I fell in love with the game, but once I discovered online D2 it was a wrap...I was working full time , going to college at night and every spare minute was spent on D2. I had always been an FPS guy before that ( doom, unreal, castle Wolfenstein ) but once I started D2 I never looked back. I made my first char a Barb as folks told me he was the easiest to learn with so I went with it...WW was UNDOUBTEDLY the build back then...you'd see odd builds occasionally like beserk and throw, but i was all about the WW. I got to around 96 or 97 leveling in everyday play, but after that it was endless cow runs. Probably 50% of the games on hell diff were cow runs...moo after moo, cow after cow...watching your xp grow a millimeter after hours of play...when I hit 99 I was ecstatic! Everybody would cheer and congratulate you...it really was a great time in gaming.

[@Grasyl]

Did I remember correct that in 1.09 Necromacer ans Assasins were completely unplayable in the endgame?

[@sppsports2449]

I remember entering into a trade with someone. My PC locked, the mouse took over and automatically dropped all my items, exited the game, and restarted my PC. It was fucking crazy. I felt so defeated.

[@tylerw5250]

same thing happened to me but i downloaded 'map hack' i turned my computer off and didn't lose a whole lot, but some stuff. plus looked like an idiot

[@alexanderdickson8027]

Wow this video defiantly explained a lot to me. I recently revisited D2 and some things just didn't feel right. I had not known that so many of my favorite builds were nerfed with 1.10. I was so excited to build my first bowling barb only to get frustrated and switch to leap attack instead. I found the online community so bare that I opted to upgrade my copy of Diablo 3 and give it a second chance since all of the major changes. There is just so much excitement that is missing when comparing unique item drops from legendary items. The necessity of studying an item's modifiers to evaluate it adds a certain connection and bond to the equipment. The Diablo 3 system and it's positive and negative percent simplification destroys the romance of unveiling a powerful item. This core misunderstanding of what made Diablo 2 so enchanting to hold it's player base for years is lost on the new blizzard. Similarly the plug and play abilities of today from the strategic permanent skill tree progression reveals another drawback. In summary there is a trade off I have come to understand that the diablo series has shown me. The less that a game demands of the player's ability to understand the rules as well as plan and commit to a strategy; the less decisions have any importance to the player which impedes personal investment and involvement to a game. The benefit this provides is a wider marketable audience. An example of this phenomena would be in the comparison of two extremes. Dungeons & Dragons with it's small player base who are overwhelmingly devout and enriched by the game. Where as Candy Crush Saga has a massive worldwide audience of players who move on after a short time with little more than time spent playing. I spent 5 years every day excited to play diablo 2 and only once since then has a game held me for longer.

[@loofy26]

relive ? never stop playing since 2000

[@Xtimus]

+Loofy 26 nice dude same

[@GNParty]

What about now?

[@caiodbs]

Still playing bro?

[@martinpetrov8729]

This video really bring some memories.

[@Super-sf9nb]

You totally forgot about the old anni/torch trade system, we couldnt put them in inventory so we had to go to act 5 or 1, drop it on the ground in some place and then just rotate, there was also fun scamm system with it ^^ good video !

[@Xtimus]

+Sonny New Thanks man! I remember those times. Trading a eth shako for a torch was a popular one.

[@jordananderson3665]

i did mephisto runs all the freaking time

[@Orvar173]

Just curious, are you perhaps a member of D2jsp? Anyway, I subscribed, love the nostalgia

[@Xtimus]

yup d2jsp@neverpants

[@Orvar173]

fekstar127 Huh? At least write it properly so one can understand you

[@Xtimus]

lol I have no clue what your talking about man I can't understand what your trying to say.

[@heymanhaha]

I couldnt hear the commentary... what was the problem with the snow orb??

[@OlviMasta77]

Which area and version of D2 LoD is the best for powerlevelling?

[@dylan8363]

Your pronunciation of Annihilus was pretty cringe, I'm sorry lol

[@haljordan223]

Anna-huloos

[@andrewl9066]

ah the old bloody foothills runs so epic

[@OIFEagle]

Do you remember the great Blizzard character Rollback? Many years ago, they tried to fix an error and re-install a backup to roll back your account a couple weeks. Also, do you remember the ridiculous defense for unique items! Don't forget the 0 level requirements for unique stuff too. I also remember jewels having more mods available to them.

[@Taika_talvi]

Isn't Oculus still something you'd be looking for? At least if you aren't a super rich guy?

[@Xtimus]

It is still a very useful item. It is not worth much unless it's the start of the ladder reset.

[@mattsullivanaudio3932]

i enjoyed that ! Total memory lane right there

[@_Gilles_]

good ol' times can't believe it's been 15+ years, it left such a huge impression on me

[@carmennaidenova1271]

I love your voice haha ! good job with all videos too

[@davidedlund2141]

Ah yes, I remember all of this. Nice to see a vid dedicated to a time before 1.10. Rare.

[@mark12347160]

I can't believe nobody has mentioned the oblivion knights casting Iron Maiden an eventually removing it all the melee characters that literally shit themselves in the chaos sanctuary.

[@Tyjohnable]

At least you could get help to pass that. Remember that short time that OK's had Maiden in act 5? I removed them with plugY.

[@godly04]

One of my favourite memories: Iron goleming a scammer's Enigma when doing A3 anni trade Lmfao

[@eddiegreencheez]

That's f'd up and awesome lol depending which side you're on

[@OnePointSystem]

Not in a particular order: 1. Shield Bash Paladin. 2. Shout Barb (basically immortal but took me 20 mins to down Bhaal on Hell). 3. Modding a headless Necromancer (holding his head in his hand). 4. Morph items, transforming into Diablo himself or a Flying Scimitar (from traps in Act II). 5. Jah rune drop in a full game during minion phase before Bhaal and I managed to pick it up. :)

[@GNParty]

Where do you get the monster mod from? I want to play as Diablo again. 😅

[@Biake22]

I was only like 12 when 1.10 released, so it's cool to hear about how the game was different.

[@TimmyTints]

my favorite memory was Bloody runs! glad you remember that bro lol

[@jjrevis]

I remember when loot dueling was still a thing. And who else remembers when they introduced the alternate weapon set ('w' hotkey?) and it allowed a glitch where you could equip two weapons over each other. It made it so both weapons, damage and all effects, were applied at the same time.

[@jamesfox899]

How about dropping item for another character u had, when u had no friends to help you, behind thr cupola in the second act ?

[@ОлжасМусаев-п6з]

Lol yep🤣

[@swedisheinherjer]

Diablo 2... So many fine gaming memories ☺

[@TardRepellent]

I *really* miss the old days. WW barb, nova/orb sorc. the first time my undergeared sorc found an occy from meph, scamming scammers, and the lovable cow level.

[@IKingRonin]

3:00 Wrong Item fountain still works. it is after 15 corpse. happened to me.

[@anthonysandberg1426]

I miss the actual Cow channels. The chat would be rolling so quickly, you'd be lucky to even see the game names posted, and then it was a mad dash to get in.

[@Tyrian3k]

I remember the old times where you were pretty much invulnerable as a necromancer if you used a blood golem and iron maiden. As long as your blood golem was attacked by melee enemies, it would heal you so much that you couldn't die unless you died in one hit. I think that was changed with the expansion, though. When the expansion hit, you had to restart everything, since all the things that were good (like rare lances for whirlwind barbs) were pretty much useless afterwards.

[@Tonybeo]

Gush, 16 years ago, so many feelings at the same time :')

[@TheRealMTR]

6 perfect skulls = SoJ

[@Latsaaben]

Good times! I remember when corpse explosion where abit overpowered, but so much fun to use when playing with friends, instantly cleared big masses of mobs :D

[@GNParty]

Necros are amazing in general. 😏

[@Reach1335]

Some old topics I remember well not listed. When Blizzard nerfed Hdins early classic by removing concentration synergy, they quickly re-patched this a few days later. Though some people had sold off their war scepters. Uniques not having lvl requirements 2 Sojs, etlich ammy, tarn helm @ lvl 1

[@heymanhaha]

i also remember at one point Sorcies had crazy damage with Firewall

[@Jvizzlezz]

this extended to the summoner as well -- the summoner's firewalls would just rape you for 100+ damage a second on normal, it was a great noob killer@@heymanhaha

[@braxkin4007]

Yeah i was into the melee zeal era using gg crafted ll rings

[@TedProtasiewicz]

Corpse popping was great lol. I remember trolling some guy into losing all his items, but right when I went to go pick them all up the battery on my mouse died.

[@goldenstyx]

The dupes! I still remember some the famous ones on USW...Carrion Song, Hailstone Jack

[@Mannetasi]

Some memories which i remember as a kid: The Unique Monster(forgot the name) at the Inner Cloister killing you right when you were about to get the Waypoint (Jerk move by Blizzard but i don't understand why it was removed from the game completely) Spending 15 Mins on OpenBattleNet trying to find a game that lets you in The Old Gem sound before LoD came along (Nothing against ether of them but it's just weird that they would change it)

[@SonAlexander]

God, 1,10 killed so much...

[@Hmongboi228]

How about the fact that your imbune quest actually yielded a high damage rare item? A lot of people would make characters to get to level ~30-40ish, just for the imbune quests. They would imbune a lance, executioner sword, martel de fer, or armor to get "godly" rare stats and damage...

[@GNParty]

Hero Editor can make legit Godly items. Nothing in the vanilla game even comes close. 😏

[@kuksio92]

Correct me if im wrong, but in 1.09 you could just stand still at cow lvl entrance and still lvl up, but in 1.10 they changed it, that you can't be too far.

[@brendonnel6631]

Dammit everything about this game was just perfect, so many people spent so many months grinding through all the characters, quests and loot. gosh I really do miss it. Never again will we witness this truly epic gameplay.

[@Azaltarar]

My favorite moments of Diablo 2 was doing mephisto runs and baals runs, such good times.

[@RileyBassing]

Favorite memory has to be Hexing charms and white rings/gloves. bugged shako. Where 2 java zons would stab each other forever before one dies.5

[@GNParty]

Hero Editor? 😏

[@truitons]

omg i miss this game , i think im gonna play it again solo ..... what character should i use , thinking that i play solo.

[@Naikonul]

This was my favorite all-time game. Played it for several years and could never get bored. There was always some new PvP character you had to farm, scam and trade your way into equipping with perfect gear. Anyone remember full dext bowazon? Sigh

[@GNParty]

Remember teleporting boner Necro with clay golem in duels? 😄

[@foxsox5046]

Zero level restriction on uniques is probably the least mentioned thing i remember. Lvl 1 chars with 2 soj, tarn, twitch, eye and assorted bs inbetween. That was a pre chant era new char build. Other than just standing at hell cow portals for xp.

[@plkpg]

Love this nostalgia!

[@yoman738]

having mules for vainquished people's ears, pretty entertaining

[@asdfsson1222]

What about casting spells without cooldown in the early Diablo2 when the expansion wasn't a thing yet?

[@SaintAnthonny]

Isn't the uber exp leveling glitch, making chars go from lvl 1 to lvl 80+ in a couple of hours also a thibg of the past, as they nerfed the exp you could get from killing mephs minions?

[@LEK]

baal runs ?

[@jayZORZZ]

Forgot about uber trist leveling. 1-70 in like 15-20 minutes. 2 hammerdins + smiter + glitch rushed party lol. But I think that was in patch 1.09? 1.10? Then they made the minions from mephistos spawn physical immune i believe, less spawn waves, and little exp thus shutting that down in 1.11 if im not mistaken

[@blech71]

I remember playing strafeazon and struggling until I found skystrike and feeling OP and again when I found kuko/goldstrike arch and then finally the epic .08 timeframe windy off pindle. Those moments beat out getting faith and the other OP runeward armors and weapons.

[@kakadaf3]

i really like how in every memory it was cool BEFORE the nerf or the patch.

[@xRaltec]

The gem does actually something.. if you spam it until u get the perfect gem message u can go back to your charakter screen and change the positions of your charakters..

[@Netherlag1]

I remember v1.09 like it was yesterday. it's amazing that Diablo2's playerbase was growing even after the release of 1.10 so a lot of people haven't experienced the game as it was in 1.09.

[@iCutWaffles]

Viktor Szabó Do you still play? I'm looking for people to make a clan sorta :)

[@Netherlag1]

Gajeel RedFox i dont :/

[@DeathcoreHusky]

Damn i remember every single thing in this video!!! And damn i miss my 1.08 frost sorc with my occulus (occy) lidless wall,shako vipermage , 2 soj ,mana burn etc damn that pure nostalgia!!

[@guardiane]

I fell for the scam that you referenced in #9...I remember that dark day lol. I was intoxicated and I thought the guy was legitimately going to show me how to duplicate items in-game...little did I know, he tricked me to dropping EVERYTHING. Thus, as a consequence, I euthanized my Druid forever...out of rage. Spamming the scammer with text did nothing lol. I sort of deserved it though...so I can't complain too much.

[@Baptopful]

to my shame i was just naive, when it happened to me. I thought, the Bnet was full of helpful, nice people. I still remeber how long it took to die 12 times. And how excited i was right before i died for the last time and dropped everything.

[@guardiane]

But after having said all that, I bet you would love to relive those days right? Life was so much simpler then...ah well.

[@chriscontreras4506]

Im about to susbcribe to your chanbel maaaan I love Diablo 2 my favorite game eveeeeer do u know where can I get it? I lost my old computer a long time ago and I want to play it again. I need it so bad :(

[@Brimikonizzle]

battle.net in the classic game section. 20$ for d2+lod.

[@chriscontreras4506]

Thx man! Does it run on any windows?

[@samtheguru]

Frozen orb and cows was life

[@BunnyStomper3000]

I miss P Skulls as currency. :(

[@theKOmorita]

missed the Hammerdin (which aren't nerfed still); the old Skeleton+mage number caps for necros; and the dreaded Iron Maiden on Oblivion Knights, they were even more iconic than the sorc builds

[@yzwme586]

You forgot back in 1.09 when there were 2 socket shakos, 4 socket arkaine's valor, 6 socket windforce, cliffkiller ammy, etc all filled with 40/15's. Those were some good times. Bowazons ran the show back then

[@adammada511]

Should make a top 10 nostalgic/memorable items. My examples - White rings, enigma's, HOTO. That's about all i can remember.

[@interstellartravel]

One thing I think that should have been here, was power lvling was possible in hell cows even at lvl 1. Also Ancients did not have a level requirement back then.

[@MikeyStreet314]

i played from release until maybe 1-2 year in of expansion but never switched just quit after some update stole all my items. saddest day of my youth. i got murdered and stripped. ty so much for these vids !! when i played.... soj was currency and if you knew guys who duped you were a king amongst kings and could get anything you needed.

[@ryaaa]

Running cows with a multishot zon, hopefully with a Windforce. Buriza or Eaglehorn were fun too.

[@meeks9388]

Does no one miss PvP/PK?

[@caiodbs]

I do. People still pvp on bnet tho, but the golden age had dozens of duels games created st tbe same time

[@evanwater3633]

nice. you say "soje" too. I feel like all old d2 addicts called everything the same. I never saw "moo" just perfect gem activated

[@capstaoner9466]

what about guided ad multi arrow
